Answer:

Osmosis

Explanation:

In a highly concentrated salt solution, concentration of water is comparatively lower than the fluid inside red blood cells. This develops a concentration gradient.

Due to this difference in concentration, the water starts flowing out of the red blood cells across its permeable layer. Due to this movement of water, red blood cell shrinks. This physical phenomenon in which a substance move from a region of high concentration to a region with lower concentration across any permeable membrane is called Osmosis.

This process is called osmosis whereby water exits the cell through its selectively permeable membrane and into the salt solution to dilute and balance the pressure caused by the concentrated salt solution.

For all eating disorders, ______ is crucial. family
Contact [7]
I would say that support is crucial, especially family support for people with eating disorders. For example, those people who are under a lot of stress may eat too much and thus gain too much weight, whereas those who are depressed may eat too little so lose weight and both conditions can be helped by moral support and helping the afflicted person seek help as in medical help, massage, energy healing etc to help relieve their stress.

Mnenie [13.5K]
The type of mutation that would cause the most dramatic change in the polypeptide or protein product of a certain gene is the base-pair deletion.  A deletion is a mutation in which the part or the base is lost during the process of replication. Any number of nucleotides can be deleted from a single base to an entire piece of chromosome.

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Ice-covered surfaces are highly reflective of the sun's rays therefore prevent those areas from warming as much as the areas where the ice is replaced with darker, less reflective surfaces which absorb heat and thus contribute more to global warming. Albedo is the percentage of radiation reflected by the earth's surface. Clear surfaces have greater albedo values than dark surfaces.
